Very useful. Thanks for that. I've been waiting for a hand module update and i hope it will be very soon. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2012-03-09* Amazing detail! I am a medical student and this is a perfect app for quickly previewing and reviewing procedures. I am very impressed by the concise but extensive nature of the info available through this app. I wish there were more apps out there like this one. Not quite all parts of the anatomy are covered yet, but most are and I am sure the rest will make their way into the app soon, so this qualification should in no way deter anyone interested from downloading the app. ### 4/5 — Great beginners tool! *2011-12-29, version 1.4* Awesome for new OR nurses and medical students! Just needs to be completed! ### 5/5 — Great reference *2011-12-24* Great for a quick reviews before a case. I just wish they would add more categories like pelvic ring fractures, etc. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2011-11-01, version 1.4* Awesome app ### 5/5 — Great *2011-10-12* This is very useful indeed. Well laid out and easy to navigate yet concise. Good descriptions of approach and procedure - excellent for SHO's to follow what's happening intraoperatively. ### 5/5 — nice *2011-09-22* very good appication for oral surgeron ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2011-09-21* Comprehensive, excellent resource.

Great work! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The app is not opening *2019-10-15* I had been using the app earlier. But since past 2 months the app is not opening on iPhone X. ### 1/5 — App not working *2019-01-22* This is a great app when it’s working however, lately whenever I open it, nothing happens and I’m looking at a blank white screen. ### 1/5 — 👎👎👎👎👎👎 *2016-12-02* The present version is not good as the previous version i want version hating the new version it also do not slow the pediatric content ### 1/5 — Unusable *2012-09-28, version 1.5* Crashes and force exits when trying to go to list view in iOS 5.1. Interactive view is inefficient from a time perspective. Looks good on website, but will stick with traumapedia till this app is more stable. ### 2/5 — Not optimised for the I pad *2020-01-03* Not working well,not suitable on I pad Screen looks like using mobile ### 2/5 — Current app not optimized for iPad *2019-01-27* Kindly optimize the AOSR app for iPad ...... ### 3/5 — App not working *2026-06-28* Great app but not working currently ### 3/5 — Dekonstruct *2011-11-03, version 1.4* The reference is full of relevant and useful information, runs well. Seems stable, hasn't crashed over 2 weeks of use. The main drawback is that online access is required to utilise the app; no internet = dead app. I would be willing to pay if it means the full app can be run without requiring internet access. 5 stars if that was the case. ### 4/5 — Impressive app for orthopaedic *2023-10-16* Good and informative ### 4/5 — Very good. Needs iPhone 6 plus update though please. *2015-02-01* Great app, very useful in practice. Could do with an update with iPhone 6 plus native resolution though please. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please add landscape mode *2025-02-22* Love your app ### 5/5 — Excellent Reference *2019-02-09* App is excellent for surgical approaches, both long bone and facial fractures. Recently, app had issues with new iPhone update, but these have been resolved. Very good reference, especially being free. ### 5/5 — Aosr app not working *2018-05-16* I am using iphone X but since last 2 months app is not working on Vodafone cellular data but works on Bsnl wifi . Developers kindly sort out this ### 5/5 — Superb app for all trauma surgeons *2017-08-08* Beautifully designed excellent pictures ### 5/5 — The best kind of effort put in to orthopaedics world! *2016-05-29* I'm seriously impressed by the way this app works, it's a huge benefit for any orthopaedic surgeon who is about to deal with a variety of cases after stepping in to operation theatre each morning, surgeons might already know most of the stuff present here but still they can over look in many situations. This app helps in restoring what is to be there in your might at this particular moment, and all this is done by AO' in other words what they decide dictums in orthopaedic world. ### 5/5 — Incredibly fantastic *2016-02-23* Beautiful graphics supplemented by highly detailed clinical descriptions.
